About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Join us for "Visionary" – a transformative plant medicine retreat coinciding with the incredible fall solar eclipse. Nestled in the serene canyons of Springville, Utah, amidst the changing foliage of the Utah mountains, Earth Temple has crafted a program of profound consciousness-shifting plant medicine work to align ourselves with the important releases and inspirational beginnings that take place during eclipse season.

We invite you to step onto the path of the Visionary – the way of leading our lives radically from the awakened heart, by communing with the master plant teachers of ayahuasca and chacruna. Through sacred ceremonies, including 3 nights of ayahuasca, alongside practices such as Despacho and soul retrievals, you will connect with your own heart’s intelligence and access the multidimensional awareness that allows you to align with the higher timelines of your soul’s path.

During this retreat, we will share in the panoramic views of a tranquil mountain mansion on 50 acres of expansive land, home to eagle, elk, and coyote spirits – an ideal nature immersion for deep transformative consciousness work. Led by experienced and highly esteemed shamanic practitioners with over 45+ years of combined experience, prepare to experience the meaning of true magic and healing as our team works with the plant spirits to support you in stepping into an even brighter expression of your being.

Our comprehensive program features spacious private and shared accommodations, wholesome aya-friendly organic meals, integration circles, and personalized support sessions. You will be supported by 2 medicine carriers (Athena and Jason), and 2 advanced medicine apprentices. We will offer astrology talks, workshops on Internal Family Systems (IFS), plant attunement practices, and herbal medicine teachings to deepen your connection to the transformational work you will be embarking on.

Join us in Utah this October, on this journey of visionary exploration, where you can activate your inner guidance and embody the divine intelligence within. Our team, the plants, and the spirits of the land are here to serve you as you embark on the sacred pilgrimage of inner transformation, to become the awakened visionary leader of your own life.

1st Timers and an Amazing Experience with Athena
Our Journey - My wife and I, are not addicts, have not suffered extreme trauma/abuse (other than infant illness and childhood bullying), nor have we been diagnosed with any medical conditions. We are spiritual, but not religious. We are just two people who randomly came across the documentary Awakening the Soul (2022).

After watching the movie, my wife said, "I want to go to Rythmia, (a beautiful medically-licensed plant medicine center in Guanacaste, Costa Rica). Unlike, myself, my wife has never been a drug user (except social drinking). I was amazed that this was something she wanted to experience. Myself, I thought, a chance to get HIGH with my wife.

So, we started researching and found a HIGHLY regarded retreat being held in our own State in Hawaii by Athena. After a little more research and high reviews we booked the retreat on Hawaii with Athena. She did not disappoint.

We stayed for one week at the end of November 2022 at an amazing location on Hawaii's Big Island. The Volcano erupted on the Night of our 1st Ceremony and There were many other "universal signs" that reveled themselves during our 4 ceremony nights.

We attended with about 12 other people, all with prior experience, some that shared HORROR stories of experiences with 'bad outcomes from other poorly trained practitioners" Not with Athena. Everyone, shared with us their similar results at the end of the week. Fantastic and enlightening.

I think, we all had one of of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. Straight from the start we were made to feel incredibly welcome and cared for. Everyone on Athena's team are so giving and loving it created such a beautiful and healing environment.

As well as the medicine ceremonies. So, wonderful. We live on Kauai, but this week caused us to feel closer to the earth, creation, and others (past/present). Athena is truly gifted and enabled us to have a deeply healing and beautiful experience.

I was able to release a lot negativity, I was holding on to, as well as see visions of my potential. My wife, experienced similar feelings and healing of stomach indigestion issues that had been plaguing her. We felt Abundance and left with a connection to the Infinite Source of Creation that is connected to everything. Major breakthroughs have happened and we are inspired to take action.

Our experience with Athena was everything we had wished it would be. The feeling of love and appreciation we were left with is something that will change the course of our lives.

We will forever be grateful to Athena and her teachings. If you are planning an Ayahuasca retreat then we can’t recommend Athena highly enough! We will definitely be heading back to one of her retreats in Hawaii. Peace and Love - P&R

Beautiful soul
I did a week long retreat with Athena and had the most beautiful and life changing experience of my life! It's hard to describe the feeling of having her around in the best way possible. She is there when you need her or help in general, but only in the right moments when you are ready to receive. She is very loving and caring and has helped me personally break down a few walls that I was putting in my own path. Any chance I could have to spend more time with her, I would gladly take in a second. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to meet her and learn from her and patiently await the next time I see her and all the beautiful ladies that were part of the retreat. Thank you so much for everything Athena <3

Clear, clean and powerful.
Working with Athena and Jermey was a direct transmission of simplicity, clarity and humility. I very much appreciated the care and guidance she constantly gave during ceremony. I also appreciated that there wasn't anything 'extra' no apparent ego was interwoven in the ceremony. That is a trait I usually see in buddhist teachers so I really appreciated that in ceremony. Lots of laughter and gentleness. Also it was one of the most powerful ceremonies of my life which I'm still working to unpack. A deep thank you for holding such elegant space for me to do my work.

A powerful, grounded, compassionate and wise woman. A storyteller.
I attended a two day retreat with Athena in 2018. Being in ceremony with Athena was such a blessing, she created the environment, and initiated a process that allowed me to dive deep within. Athena provided a grounding fulcrum which I was able to use to anchor myself while I journeyed. She created a safe, sacred space for healing. She took the time to ensure each individual under her care was well. I felt deeply cared for. She provided me with some support that was specific to my needs and it it helped me tremendously. In ceremony I witnessed many spirits come through Athena as she guided our group - the hummingbird, the wolf, the bear, the wise elder - many spirits shared their voices. She is a story teller, a singer, a healer, a carrier and protector of the medicine. Thank you Athena - truly.

A true teacher
I am very blessed to have found true teachers in my life. I consider Athena (and her partner Jeremy) to be two of those. Athena is real, allowing space for you to grow and rise and expand in your own gifts and become empowered to heal yourself. She does an amazing job of leaving her ego away from ceremony so that the purity of the work may come through. I never knew what to expect from a ceremony, but I felt so safe and supported that I continue to get called back! I appreciate and respect everything she does. She truly walks her talk and is an incredible soul to be in the presence of. I recommend connecting with her in whatever capacity to are feeling called to. Your life will be uplifted.
